    Weekday mornings in our house are incredibly hectic. I am usually up at a very early hour and I think I have all this time stretching out before me. But I often get absorbed in work and by the time my kids get up, I am panicked about how to get them all fed, dressed, and out the door on time. I must confess that I usually don’t handle the stress of it all that gracefully. No matter how much warning I give them about getting their school bags together or getting their shoes and coats on, there is inevitably one child running back inside to grab something they forgot. And there I am, tapping my foot in impatience, barking orders, and wishing there was a better way to streamline the chaotic mornings.

    Easy low carb egg muffins with spinach and mushrooms. These make the best freezable, make-ahead breakfasts!

    One thing I am good at is having a number of breakfast items on hand for a healthy meal they will all eat. I usually have a supply of baked goods at the ready, and I almost always keep some in the freezer so I am not caught unawares. I get a little jittery when my stash gets low because it’s so important to be able to grab a few muffins, zap them in the microwave and at least feel like I sent my kids to face the world with some nourishment in their system.

    Easy make-ahead Spinach Mushroom Omelet Muffins. A great portable grain-free, low carb breakfast!

    Being kids, they love the sweet muffins and scones and biscotti I often have around. But since it’s January and everyone is making efforts to eat a little healthier, I decided to go the savoury, veggie-packed route. I wanted a muffin that was like your favourite omelet, but in super easy portable form. Because who has time to whip up big omelets on a weekday morning? This way, you can grab it as you head out the door and not spill egg and cheese all over your lap in the car.

    I love low carb egg muffins but the trouble with most of them is that they puff up all nicely in the oven and then deflate after you take them out. They don’t look very pretty and they can get mushy and overly moist as they sit. So I added some Bob’s Red Mill coconut flour to give them a little more structure and to make them more muffin-y, while still being like your favourite omelet. This also helped them freeze well, so they truly can be make-ahead breakfasts.

    One of my kids wasn’t a huge fan of the mushroom version, as you might imagine. So I made a second big batch with leftover ham for a Ham & Cheese Omelet Muffin. Those were a huge hit and I still have a dozen left in the freezer. At least I have that going for me in the mornings!

    Course: Breakfast
    Cuisine: American
    Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
    Cook Time: 40 minutes minutes
    Total Time: 45 minutes minutes
    Servings: 15 muffins
    Calories: 148kcal

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup butter
    • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
    • Salt and pepper
    • 2 cloves garlic minced
    • 5 ounces fresh spinach
    • ⅔ cup Bob's Red Mill coconut flour
    • 2 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¾ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon pepper
    • 7 large eggs
    • ½ cup whipping cream
    • 1 cup grated cheese of choice

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350F and grease a muffin pan very well (if you do not have a good non-stick muffin pan, use parchment paper liners). This recipe makes about 15 muffins so you may need to work in batches if you only have one muffin pan.
    • In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat. Once hot and melted, add sliced mushrooms. Let cook 1 minutes without stirring, then add salt and pepper to taste and sauté until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
    • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds, then add the fresh spinach. Cook until just wilted, about 1 more minute. Set aside.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add eggs, whipping cream and grated cheese and whisk until well combined. Stir in mushroom/spinach mixture.
    • Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups to about ¾ full. Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until puffed, set to the touch and light golden brown.

      I love these. I’ve made them countless times, usually as dinner on a meatless night, with a nice garden salad on the side. Since I have some family members who won’t eat mushrooms, and some who won’t eat spinach (natch), I divide the batter in two, and put all of the mushrooms in one half, and all of the spinach in the other. I make them a little bigger — I use a Texas muffin pan (six large wells) and/or a “brookie” pan (also 6 wells, which I often use as a “doughnut” pan since the shape is sort of like that) — in other words, I make 12 per recipe. They are so good!! I’ve also made them in my bread roll pans (I think they’re intended for flan, 4 (4×1″?) wells to a pan; I make 8, so the counts are doubled for those), and used them as really filling & delicious rolls for sandwiches (especiallly ham & cheese, or egg and sausage bfast sandwiches.) The kids enjoy them as snacks, too, so I sometimes whip up a batch as mini muffins to keep on hand. Yum!

      Just to clarify, should we be using 2 cups of almond flour to substitute the 2/3 cups of coconut flour? Thanks.

        Yes, that sounds about right. Coconut flour is very absorbent and almond flour is not.

      Found this recipe via Kalyn. Made a batch last night as my intro to coconut flour. I don’t taste coconut at all, but I will cut back on the salt next time. Thank you!

      I made these and they turned out fine. I used Bakers Joy and they popped right out of the pan. I did not detect any discernible coconut flour taste – I think the cheese masked that ok. Mine were done in 22 minutes. If that previous poster baked them for 30, they may have been a bit dry and hence “hockey puckish” to him. They turned out a little salty but that is completely my fault. I used parmesan for half the cheese and added cubed ham. I should have known with those ingredients to cut back on the salt.

      I was bored of the same old eggs for breakfast so I tried this recipe last night with a few modifications and it turned out great!i made a dairy free version with coconut milk instead of whipping cream and added some goat cheese on top! Since my fiancé wouldn’t go dairy free if hell froze over i added the dairy to his and he asked for seconds this morning!thanks for the wonderful recipe!!

      Screw you. You can completely taste the coconut for one, and number 2 , these hockey pucks stick like glue. And yes the tray was really bloody well greased. Had to throw half the crap away. What a useless waste

        Such a lovely response. Normally, I try to help my readers figure out what went wrong, because I know that it’s frustrating to have expensive ingredients go to waste. But I think I will abstain from offering my help this time. I will, however, assure you that I don’t go around making up recipes that suck, just to mess with people. That seems to be your assumption.

          I may have gotten a tad worked up when Another Gluten Free recipe went for a dive( and should not have gone the profanity route, that was uncalled for), especially when the coconut flavour and texture came through quite strong ( and i despise coconut), and also I do understand that unlike most people some of us do not have a choice with the lifestyle. I do not believe that this is you sucking things out if your thumb. Ok Rant over. Seriously though, they are like hockey pucks..

            They shouldn’t be so I know something went wrong here. They should be actually quite light so it sounds like you don’t have enough liquid or eggs in there. Or something was wrong with your coconut flour. Now that we’ve cleared that up, how about this? Email me at alldayidreamaboutfood@gmail.com and I will help you figure out how to make this same recipe with almond flour or another nut flour, so that it’s more to your liking.

      I started making these for my husband a month or so ago. He loved them, and we’ve been experimenting with adding different things to them as we go. The funniest part is my three year old began begging pieces off him in the morning, and now he has to reheat a whole one just for her… In fact, she will pick the mushrooms out to eat first, then eat the rest of the muffin! As fast as they’re going through them, I’m going to have to start making two batches a week. Thanks for an awesome, freezable breakfast item that’s super versatile.
